I've gotten good info on the pack re: value cell phone plans in the past so I thought I would share some recent experience with Visible. https://www.visible.com/plan

Pros:
  • Unlimited everything on Verizon network
  • Includes hotspot capability (this was huge for me)
  • Straightforward $40 a month with no tax/fees tacked on; currently they are offering a $100 gift card for BYOD users that port to Visible
  • Works better than Cricket (for reference my primary service area is Jackson; YMMV); works great in my trailer par i mean neighborhood
  • Works at State football games for calls/texts/browsing (although at halftime I couldn't stream YoutubeTV to watch other games; this was about a similar experience as Cricket, maybe a little better)
  • Good app, easy sign up process and porting process--easy and painless.

Cons:
  • No family bundles / group discounts
  • Still a budget network, so priority has a couple of times reared it's head although overall I'd say it has good reliability. I've previously used Google Fi, Cricket, and ATT Prepaid. ATT Prepaid was probably a touch better service wise than Visible, but Visible is unlimited and cheaper. Service-wise for me: ATT Prepaid>Visible>Cricket>Google Fi.

Anyone else on here using Visible? What has been your experience?

For those wanting to switch to Visible, the BH7GP promo code will get you $20 off your first bill in addition to the $100 visa gift card for the BYOD porting. They say it will credit me $20 also, which is cool if it happens. However I mainly want to share what I think is a good value for a service that fits my needs that I've been enjoying.
